I am ridiculously excited for this show.

The series is genuinely scary. I’ll even go to bat for the much-maligned movie, “Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story.” It understood that the Operator works best as something you search for in the back of the frame. And the introduction of multiple perspectives by using projectors was a clever innovation.

Well now I just want that AV Club wrapping paper...

I’ve only had the service for two months but I have seen a movie or two disappear off my watchlist. It’s hard to determine because they don’t put a date on the screen, there’s just a section on the home screen that lists “Leaving Soon.” I do love the selection on there, though, and they add new stuff all the time…

Alex’s deadpan is great

One of my favorite Halloween traditions (obviously—see profile pic). There’s an especially good intertextual joke in having Bubs dressed as Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls since Matt worked on the show.

Anybody listening to the new Matthew Good record that came out today? His last two records didn’t leave much of an impact on me, but the two singles for this one, “Bad Guys Win” and “Decades” hooked me in and I’ve been counting down ever since.

YES! We’ve missed you, Bonney!

Everything those two touch is great. I’m also partial to the soundtrack they did for Noah Baumbach’s “Mistress America.” It’s very different, more ‘80s synthpop-y (they even included an OMD track), but it seemed perfectly in their wheelhouse.

The striped green rabbit with two butts lives! Woo-hoo!

Is it... over? Am I finally not “pending approval” anymore?!

I was incredibly disappointed by the first movie-and-a-half of tri, but the end of the second movie surprised me by recapturing what I liked so much about the original series (I won't go into it to avoid spoilers, although the posters give some of it away). Part of my surprise might just be because my expectations…

There's a part of me holding out hope they'll address that sometime in tri, considering they've been going so deep into the canon.

I feel like Pelswick was only on at the weirdest hours, so I only remember the episode where he starts a pirate radio station and the episode where he accidentally starts to like a boy band. Also he had a pet cat that wanted to kill him and a guardian angel?

I rewatched ReBoot a few years ago and still get a huge kick out of it. The early episodes are pretty corny, but it becomes a lot of fun as the show ages and starts experimenting with continuity and pop culture references. It definitely deserves more credit for leveraging dramatic storytelling in a kids show.

Is anybody else freaking out that they're making an AV Club show starring Teti? It sounds amazing! Please let Bonney come on for a Mom on Pop segment!

I love how deep their references go for these Halloween costumes. It was killing me when I couldn't remember where I'd seen "The Angriest Dog in the World" before, but the Brothers Chaps have shown a love of David Lynch before.

I'm a big fan too! I've also only ever met one other person who's heard of him. I only found out about him because he had a song featured on Smallville (I was a young man…) presumably because the show was filmed in Canada and had some influence from that area.

Heavens very belatedly introduced me to post-punk and it was a huge revelation. I've gone much, much deeper into the genre since then, but it still holds a place in my heart for that.
